Lyan and Joost have been together for eight years. They met during a youth tournament at Golf Almkreek. Joost who was drawn to her lost no time and asked Lyan soon after their first meeting to go to the biggest golf tournament on Dutch soil with him: the KLM Open. An interesting detail: Joost missed the cut by one stroke, was he too nervous by Lyan’s presence?

She is also an avid golfer but she says she is no where near his level, but understands the emotions that can come from a good or bad day.

The couple shares for some time an apartment in Rotterdam. They regularly pull together with the scooter on out, preferably to the sea.
